Piranha P-series PlateLASER is built for performance and productivity with a polymer granite base, linear drives, carbon fiber bridge, and a state-of-the-art CNC control. With power ranges from 4 to 12kW and high acceleration speeds, these machines offer some of the fastest cycle times in the world.
Piranha PlateLASER machines are built in the US with reliability and economy in mind. These proven-tough machines use the best mechanical components available to ensure precision and reliability throughout their service life. This special combination of durability and cost efficiency provides maximum value for steel processors.
The Piranha PlateLASER 1530 combines the benefits of high power fiber laser cutting and linear drive positioning into a laser cutting system that can process up to 1” thick steel*. The 60” x 120” (1.5m x 3.0m) process envelop and pallet shuttle tables will process one sheet of material while loading or unloading the other.
We incorporate technology to reduce nitrogen assist gas flow when cutting with 12kW laser power. This can result in nitrogen consumption rates which are significantly less than other processes.

*NOTE: When cutting at or near the maximum material thickness for each process, it may be necessary to compensate for variations in material chemistry, surface condition, and thickness deviation from lot to lot. Some situations may require the use of laser-grade materials.
| GAS | PURITY | CONSUMPTION |
| Oxygen (Mild Steel Cutting) | 99.95% | 40 ~ 350 scfh @ 140 PSI 19 ~ 165 L/min @ 9.5 Bar |
| Nitrogen (Stainless, Aluminum Cutting) | 99.8% | 320 ~ 5000 scfh @ 450 PSI 150 ~ 2360 L/min @ 30 Bar |
NOTE: Customer shall install and utilize bulk liquid and bulk liquid nitrogen storage tanks. Using portable tanks for O2 or N2 will create additional chances of contamination entering the gas supply lines and the cutting head due to frequent tank changes. Contamination will cause cutting head lens failure and thus cause machine down time and additional operating expense.
The PlatePARTNER™ SEMI-AUTOMATIC LOADING SYSTEM is used to move a plate of raw material from a stack and place it onto the pallet table in preparation for a production cycle. The estimated cycle time of 60 seconds eliminates the need for secondary overhead cranes, fork lift trucks, or assistants during the material loading sequence.

NOTES:
The POP-UP BALL TRANSFER SHEET LOADING ASSIST SYSTEM is designed to allow material to be easily moved to the material reference stops. Ball transfers will raise to a location above the pallet slats. Once the operator locates the work piece against the stops, the ball transfers will retract so that the work piece rests directly on the slats, in the correct zero location. The system is located below the outside pallet and will work with either pallet in the pallet load location.
The AUTOMATIC NOZZLE CHANGER includes 6 different nozzle stations. The desired nozzle is selected through the CNC part program. An automatic nozzle calibration procedure is executed after changing the nozzle.
The dust collector (manufactured by Donaldson) includes a 7.5 HP blower and (9) high temperature filters and integrated spark trap.
Piranha recommends an optics servicing area to be located away from manufacturing areas. This area must have minimum air movement and a dust free environment. For best results, we recommend purchase of a laminar flow box to be located in an office area
NOTE: Optics contamination is the leading cause of premature cutting head failure. It is extremely important that optics (e.g. cover slides) are cleaned prior to use. This cleaning must be done in a clean environment. This area will also be used for on-site cutting head maintenance (to be done by our technicians).
Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) are the most common assist gases used when cutting metals with a fiber laser. Air is a combination of both O2 (21%) and N2 (78%), small amounts of argon and carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases and water vapor.
Air cutting provides many of the benefits of N2 cutting along with increased cutting speeds in thicknesses 10ga (0.135”) and thinner and significantly lower cutting gas costs.
Air used in laser cutting must be available with the correct purity, dryness, pressure, and flow. Typical shop air compressor systems are unable to deliver the air quality and performance necessary. A dedicated air compressor system is required.
